摘要
Ablation experiments with ultrashort laser pulses (pulse duration 150 fs, wavelength 800 nm) on polymers (PC, PMMA) relevant for biomedical technology have been performed in air. The lateral and vertical machining precision was evaluated by optical, atomic force and scanning electron microscopy. The ablation threshold reaches values in the range of 0.5-2.5 J/cm(2) and depends significantly on the number of laser pulses applied to the same spot. The hole diameters are influenced by the laser fluence and the number of laser pulses. The relation between the ablation threshold and the number of laser pulses applied to the same spot is described in accordance with an incubation model. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
